"I Draw Girls" Artist

Another Tutorial. This guy has worked on the newer Star Wars movies. He's a master of creating beautiful women. I think faces are his strong point. Considering I work on faces alot, I have alot to learn by studying these awesome speed paintings.

Stephan Cefalo, I think he might be a magician

I am in utter shock of this man, Stephen Cefalo. Simply amazing! Absolutely AMAZING! FANTASTIC!

I wonder what he uses to start on his canvas. Its a nice wash of some sort. If I could have the opportunity to model for this man it would be really cool in exchange for technique. But he lives far away. Best portrait artist I've ever watched paint. So fast. So much energy. As Tony Yin Tak Chu has said to me, "sometime...less is more... spending more time does not mean better result..."

The work of Jules Cheret is relevant to the artwork I am doing now. Poster art! I love this guy's work. The best! I think I will study his typography and layout while I do my next peices.

f l a p t r a p s a r t . - Richard Anderson

Just stumbled upon a new (or new to me) artist today. Richard Anderson is a master of using every brushstroke to lead the eye dramatically. His work is softly lit with sharp loose strokes that enhances details. I love the strokes!

Martin Bower

Martin Bower is the talented Model Builder of Alien, Star Trek, War of the Worlds, and 20, 000 leagues under the sea. I think I much prefer the look of models over CG. It really looks life like. Animation often looks better in 3d but everything else in CG tends to look plastic. CG artists could learn alot by trying to mimic the style of this great master. Look at how well these are lit.

French Architecture

There is nothing more beautiful to me than the Château de Versailles. These buildings have more presence than a face, a voice, a touch. They capture my senses and roll me around in them. I might faint if I saw these in person. Dear God!

Mike Nash

Mike Nash is a great finisher. It's all perfectly lit. I tend to like to make things look a bit more unfinished but I need to know how to do everything as a concept artist so I'm checking out his tutorials.
